Why? Gateway Bridal Show has a strong reputation of producing value to brides and affordable results to vendors.

{ Quality face-to-face time with brides looking for YOU for approximately $1 per bride! }

The year 2017 marks the 20th year that Gateway Center has hosted the Gateway Bridal Shows. We host two shows each year - one in the January and one in July/August.

This show attracts a total crowd of approximately 1,000 people. The winter show draws approximately 450 brides and the summer show draws approximately 400 brides. With over 100 wedding professionals exhibiting, the Gateway Bridal Show has grown to be one of the largest and most successful bridal shows in Southwestern IL and the St. Louis Metro-East Area.
